Answer:
It does not, unless [tex]x=0[/tex] or [tex]x=1[/tex]
If you remember how to raise a power to a given power you remember to multiply the exponents (or, if you don't, apply the definition of [tex](x^3)^3=(x^3)(x^3)(x^3)=x^9[/tex]
At this point you're being asked if [tex]x^9=x^6[/tex] and the only two numbers for which this is true are 0 and 1 (side note: if the left hand side was an even function also [tex]-1[/tex] was a possible candidate, but alas 9 is odd).
